Hi together, Thank you, now it works! I did the following things:
=> Install the newest WiX Toolset (3.5.2215.0) => Remove and recreate the visual studio WiX Custom Action project => Setting up the configuration file of the CustomAction.config: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <configuration> <startup useLegacyV2RuntimeActivationPolicy="true"> <supportedRuntime version="v4.0" /> <!--<supportedRuntime version="v2.0.50727"/>--> </startup> </configuration> => Test the msi setup and then checking the log (msiexec /i package.msi /l*v install.log): MSI (s) (14:D4) [11:20:14:620]: Doing action: SetOperationMode Aktion 11:20:14: SetOperationMode. Schalte Dienst in den Betriebsmodus Aktion gestartet um 11:20:14: SetOperationMode. MSI (s) (14:D4) [11:20:14:635]: Transforming table CustomAction. MSI (s) (14:18) [11:20:14:667]: Invoking remote custom action. DLL: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI79F.tmp, Entrypoint: SetOperationMode SFXCA: Extracting custom action to temporary directory: C:\WINDOWS\Installer\MSI79F.tmp-\ SFXCA: Binding to CLR version v4.0.30319 Calling custom action XXXX!XXXX.Api.WiX.CustomActions.SetOperationMode Starting SetOperationMode Action ... End SetOperationMode Action. Aktion beendet um 11:20:16: SetOperationMode. Rückgabewert 1. => Finished, everything works! Supposition: ------------ I think the cause was, that I had an older WiX Toolst version installed before. And then I have probably spoiled the visual studio project file, while I was trying a lot. If you like I upload my faulty visual studio project for you?

To get logging, the custom action must be called from the sequence table. [http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/aa368322.aspx] There does not appear to be a way I have discovered to acquire a Session object from a DLL custom action (it seems to only be available from script custom actions). -----Original Message----- From: Ryan [mailto:rgrim...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, October 19, 2010 9:20 AM To: wix-devs@lists.sourceforge.net Subject: Re: [WiX-devs] [ wix-Bugs-3019443 ] .NET Custom Action fails on FW 4.0 <?remove some-text?> I am unable to get the level of logging you posted.
